Blue Jays: Who will bat leadoff in 2019?
The Toronto Blue Jays are attempting to plug and patch holes in various parts of their lineup as this rebuild comes full circle, however, who will bat leadoff for the new skipper in 2019?
Last season manager John Gibbons used a plethora of players atop the order with Curtis Granderson garnering the most time in the leadoff spot. With Grandy long gone, it appears the leadoff debate is really a two horse race between Lourdes Gurrile Jr. and Billy McKinney.
Devon Travis was once thought to be a suitable candidate for the job however his disastrous 2018 campaign would seem to take him out of the running heading into 2019.
